Jimmy Lafave - Worn Out American dream lyrics

rate me

I see no refuge for the weary

I see no handouts for the poor

I see no sense of satisfaction

On all the ones who just endure

All the slings and arrows slandered

Against the face of the poor man’s dream

Where the rich circle in like vultures

Pickin' all their pockets clean

Don’t u give me ur phony smile

Don’t u tell me no more rules

How many people will u trample down

Before you’re finally through?

Come on face the situation

All the sadness that it brings

Got me lost inside the shuffle of

A worn out American dream

Give me no more TV preachers

Give me no more racist attitudes

Politicians, politicians, I’ve got nothin' left for u

I’m within my global vision

U see, my feelings are my own

The Good Book says the days are numbered

So I’m turnin' towards my home

Take away ur evil money

I won’t join in ur game

To myself I will be true

To myself I will remain

Come on face ur situation

It’s just as desperate as it seems

U got us lost inside the shuffle of

Ur worn out American dream

I see no refuge for the weary

I see no handouts for the poor

I see no sense of satisfaction

On all the ones who must endure

All the slings and arrows slandered

Against the face of the poor man’s dream

All the rich circle in like vultures

Picking every pocket clean

Don’t u give me our phony smile

Don’t u tell me one more rule

How many lambs must u slaughter

Before u’re finally through?

Come on, face the situation

And all the sadness that it brings

You’ve got us lost inside the shuffle of

Ur worn out American dream

You’ve got me caught up in the madness of

Ur worn out American dream

You’ve got me lost inside the sadness of

Ur worn out American dream
